He recommended using a palm sander to touch up the blade, while holding the

Begin.

Haha, that's funny. But thanks, I'll give it a try. I also have
another method I found in FWW's "Woodworking Machinery" That uses a
small grindstone in a router, with a metal tongue to hold the blades
in a constant position.

A year or so back, there was a tip (in FWW) by Jimmy Carter on
sharpening jointer blades in-situ. I did not pay much attention at the
time, as I did not own a jointer, I have now acquired an old one with
3 sets of blades, 1 set is OK, just, but the other 2 are worse for
wear.

What was his technique?
